Trivia

Although Marty McFly comments that his son "looks just like him", there is one notable difference between the two (aside from a faulty jacket sleeve and a white T-shirt): Marty McFly Jr has brown eyes, whereas his father doesn't (this can be seen most clearly in the scene with Griff in Cafe 80s).

Goofs

Continuity: When Marty is on the hoverboard escaping from Griff, he holds on to the back of a surf truck, and his grip keeps changing just before he swerves onto the water. See more »

Quotes

[first lines]
Young Jennifer: How 'bout a ride, mister?
Marty McFly: Jennifer! Oh, man, are you a sight for sore eyes; let me look at you.
Young Jennifer: Marty, you're acting like you haven't seen me in a week.
Marty McFly: I haven't.

Crazy Credits

The theatrical version had a teaser for Back to the Future Part III. Some later versions do not have a teaser at all, only showing "To Be Continued", and skip to the credits. Some have "To Be Continued" followed by "Back To The Future III". Some cable versions retain the teaser for Back To The Future Part III, but, of course, do not say "Coming Summer 1990". See more »
